Green Anarchy #23 is out

This is the long-running "Anti-civilization Journal of Theory and Action", published right here in Oregon. The current issue theme is "Strategy and Tactics".

Some of Us Wish to Fly...

"Summer's here, and the time's come for fun, fighting, and attempting to fly. To take flight, not in some technological or rationalist undertaking, at pushing the limits of gravity in a Wright Brothers to NASA fashion, but to soar free from all constraints - morality, ideology, and all social, emotional, and institutional obstacles - and defy what we have always been told, and may have even believed to be impossible..."--Welcome to Green Anarchy, Issue #23, Summer/Fall 2006.

The latest issue of Green Anarchy is out, focusing on anti-civilization strategy and tactics. Several short articles have been posted on our web site with more to come over the next weeks and months. Check out A Credible Threat, The Path Ahead by John Zerzan, and A Principle Strategy by Interra Garre.

Morefus; Play Fiercely!

Gould is a surprising perspective on prison life; For The Wearing of the Green? makes a stab at the myth of a green Ireland; Against the Megamachine 2006 by JZ; and another poignant reprint from Freddy Perlman's Against His-story, Against Leviathan - "The last communities do a ghost dance". Emerging through the veil, we dance ecstatic, from A Craft of Insurrection by Moon Su, concludes the issue.

Our regular features include inspirational and educational news items from around the world, the all-too-necessary state repression news section, Jesus Sepulveda's Garden of Peculiarities: Fragment 31 (with a new Post Scriptum); and JZ's Nihilist Dictionary - Communities. Waldorf and Statler take on Infoshop, Cara Jennings, and of course - NEFAC. The Practical Rewilding column is titled Prehistory of Birth Control: Tactics for Liberating Our Bodies From the Medical Establishment and comes to us from Rat Girl. We also compiled an extensive list of recommended readings on strategy and tactics from past issues of GA, from our distro, as well as some interesting classics and insightful new writings on State strategies.
